Help id this saw please
Curiosity got the better of me last night and i bought this and two other saws off the devil that is ebay last night. It caught my eye as it looked like a 090 in the photos so stuck in a cheeky bid and won. Now not sure what i've got? Serial plate says 1106 which with limited google searching i believe could be a contra. Not really going to be sure til i strip it down but thought i'd see if any of you guys could tell me more from the photos
Thanks dave |

Re: Help id this saw please
Thats confirmed what i was thinking. Looks like it could be a pig to restore, the top covers alone seem to be like hens teeth to find. All in all quite happy though. Got this a husky 142 (fresh fuel and new started cord and was running) and a random sachs for £51. Find of the year me thinks

Re: Help id this saw please
I had one of these years ago, sure it was around 98-110cc and vibrated like it was :-) Nice sound though but heavy. A good old slogger in its day but sold it for £125 in freeads (pre evilbay) 30 years ago

Re: Help id this saw please
It's a Contra, which is basically an 070 without a decompression valve (not the Contra Lightning which was the 090 forerunner). You can tell from the flywheel cover.
The top covers can often be had new from Germany for a reasonable price - search ebay worldwide. Alec |
